The union claims there are 'health and safety concerns' at the college
Staff at a Liverpool sixth-form college are set to go on strike on November 26, with further walkouts scheduled for early December. The strike has been called in response to what the National Education Union claims are 'inefficient management practices and health and safety concerns' at LIPA Multi-Academy Trust . In a recent formal ballot, a majority of NEU-affiliated staff members voted in favour of strike action.
'Allegations of financial mismanagement, academic failures, and health and safety concerns have been catapulting this well-established and respected institution into a spiralling downward projectile. As a result, it is our members and students who are suffering, not to mention the image of LIPA MAT.' Karen Copsey, assistant branch secretary of Liverpool NEU, said: 'Our members are not just fighting for their rights but also for the future of the students.
